A Replacement Bride

Something flickered within Joaquin's eyes before he asked in an indiscernible tone, "Just because we are husband and wife?"

Katherine did not hear the hidden meaning within his words, and she replied instinctively, "What else?"

Katherine did not understand what the man meant just now, and the question immediately distracted her. "A thank-you gift? There's no need for that."

"Why not? Even if we are married, we still need to see how much we owe one another. You helped me immensely, so I have to repay you properly."
